Without basketball this would be a great event to support, with basketball added it’s a great event that I look forward to every year. I was able to watch quite a few games over several gyms and was impressed by the amount of talent on hand. Here are some of the top players that I viewed over the weekend.
Maiya Semenuk
Maiya Semenuk
Maiya shot the ball well making multiple three pointers. She has a quick release allowing her to ger her shot off even when guarded. She has a good frame and plays with a lot of energy.
Anna Beth Tsai-Turton
Anna Beth Tsai-Turton
Anna Beth has good height and great frame. She finishes well by the basket and has good interior defense. She has the skill to stretch the floor and the footspeed to defend the perimeter.
Kasey played like an established floor general. She showed good leadership and control over the pace and tempo of the floor. She plays well in transition making great decisions on the move, she also has a good pull-up jumper.
Zoe had great defense and was an excellent rebounder. She was strong and relentless at the rim finishing herself or cleaning up the offensive glass for putbacks. She was able to get to the line repeatedly.
Maisie felt more comfortable with more freedom to make mistakes than she had during the high school season. With that she was able to show much more with her game. She repeatedly drew contact and go to the line. Maisie had a nice reverse layup in traffic and showed off a sweet hook shot. If she can keep developing over the summer it could transition into a solid junior season in high school.
